• Weather forecast reviewed and radar checked

Every Table Needs a Rain Guard

Every table and display pallet must have a rain guard assigned to it.

No Rain Guard = No Product

Product must always be displayed on:

• Tables
• Pallets
• Display pallets

Never place product directly on the ground.

Riding the Middle

20’ Wide Tents:

Ride the Middle every day.
Rain guards should remain staged down the center of each table.

30’, 40’, & Larger Tents:

Two approved methods:

• Low Rain Risk: Store rain guards neatly under tables for better product visibility.
• Elevated Rain Risk: Ride the Middle by staging rain guards down the center of each table.

Use this elevated method when:

• High rain chances exist
• Thunderstorms are forecast
• Severe weather is possible
• Storms are visible on radar

Keep Rain Guards Dry

Wet Rain Guards And Fireworks Do Not Mix

Rain guards must remain:

• Dry
• Accessible
• Ready for deployment

If stored under tables, deploy them before they get wet. A wet rain guard can transfer water directly onto inventory.

Know the Difference

Light Rain or Drizzle:

• Stay open
• Keep sidewalls open
• Continue serving customers

Light rain is not a reason to close the tent.

Moderate Rain:

• Consider lowering only the side facing the storm
• Keep remaining sides open when possible

Severe Weather:

Examples: Heavy wind-driven rain, Thunderstorms, Severe weather warnings, Red radar approaching.

When severe weather threatens inventory:

• Lower sidewalls
• Deploy rain guards
• Cover exposed product
• Protect inventory until conditions improve

After the Rain:

• Open sidewalls immediately
• Remove unnecessary coverings
• Restore product visibility
• Resume normal sales
